Question

The history of Eastern Woodland/Northeast American Indians is divided into how many periods and what years correspond to each period?

Answer 1

Woodland period can be divided into Early woodland (500-100B.C), Middle woodland (100B.C-A.D 300) and Late woodland (300A.D-1000 A.D). The social, economic and technological development of the archaic period continued in the woodland period, during this period hunting-gathering was refined, native plants such as corn and beans were domesticated. Pottery production and mound construction continued. Climatic conditions and land forms stabilized.

The refining of hunting-gathering techniques helped the woodland people to catch fishes in the major river valleys and hunt deer and bison.
